Space Opera

Fresh work for the Space Opera book cover series. The theme is to have the cover as a solid image, with unexpected/uncommon information on the spine, then more information on the back. Before developing the innerds!

Blair

A poster taken from a political speech. I chose the speech given by Tony Blair shortly after 9/11 in the House of Commons; because it is the first significant political event I have really paid any attention to, not because I love Tony Blair. The speech gets better at the end, the beginning is unimportant and just sets the scene, hence why I have presented it in the way that I have. Set in Helvetica which is clearly the Tony Blair of fonts. This is A1 in real life.

This is still a working progress, I need to figure out some of the bugs and perfect it.

Polar Triangle

Found this on the web. Could possibly be something to think about when constructing the imagery for my book covers. Some kind if iconic image representing each book then reduced to a geometric/pixelated image pattern.

Something Like This....

This is along the lines of what I might produce with the book cover project. Geometric patterns mixed with colour and type along with an air of mystique...

The other image relates to the drinks machine logo work, but also it is a nice piece of information design.

Taiwan Recycle Logo

Found this randomly on a website, apparently it's the Taiwanese recycling symbol. Works nicely with the four inward arrows creating for white arrows pointing out. A brilliant use of dark and white space.

More Nice Things Done By Other People

Here are some pieces of design i like and which i have found by chance surfing on the internet and stuff.

this is a really good website :http://thenonist.com/index.php/thenonist/permalink/graphis_annual_71_72/

Space Opera

Here you have the beginnings of the cover design for the Space Opera science fiction series of books. I'm looking at creating complex patterns to implant hidden messages and text within the pattern. Thinking about dual level far and close. Pretty and interesting. Working with colour and I have chosen the hexagonal shape for cell/honeycomb patterns. These are the starting points of investigation and layering and layering and layering. Keep your eyes peeled.
